Lots of people are on-line trying to sell the latest and greatest fat loss tips in all sorts of formats. It isn't that these tips are wrong when it comes to wanting to shed pounds, it's just that lots of the products available are simply makeovers of information that has been floating around the web for years. They work, but do you really need to invest a ton of money on these ideas?



If you do enjoy spending money to believe that something is important and that the more spent, the better the information is, then these tips are probably not for you. Because they are so simple in nature they can be completed by nearly anyone. No need to buy a gym membership or invest in the super size weight set or one of those machines that folds up and sits in the corner of your house.



Basically, with a lot of people it's a given that the gym membership will simply continue to be a regular expense that people feel guilt ridden about abandoning. Extensive weight sets with super curl bars and such are actually targeted toward pro athletes and the machines spend most of their time folded up in the corner.



Here are two top guidelines to help you burn more fat and lose more weight in your quest for better health.



Drink More - Drink A Lot More



Water that is. Head to your fridge and get rid of all the artificially sweetened drinks. Throw out all the energy drinks and for today, don't even drink fresh squeezed juice. Most people don't drink anywhere near enough water during the course of the day. And plenty of times when people feel hungry or think its time for a snack, what is really happening is that they are thirsty. 



Your brain has learned to misread the signs from the blood, especially if you have been drinking a lot of artificially sweetened drinks. The body craves water, and many people give it food instead. Try drinking about 6 - 8 glasses (8 ounces) on a daily basis and you will be quite amazed at how different you feel when it comes to meals.





Eat More - Eat A Lot More 



Often that is. Somehow when we are growing up we are taught the idea that not only are we meant to get hungry on a schedule (and usually somebody else's timetable) but that when we get the meal, we are well behaved if we clean our plates. The number of calories that many people eat in the course of one regular meal can often be more than many thinner people eat in the course of a whole day.



If you decide that you are going to be in control of your diet program and your own weight loss, then try breaking up the day with more frequent meals. The reality is, your stomach is only about the size of your fist. How much food do you really think you can fit in there? And interestingly, lots of people learn to eat through fear of there not being any more food for them.



So not only are they scared, but they eat a lot more than their bodies could quite possibly process before next meal time. Eat small meals, more often over the course of the day, and you will be amazed at how hungry you do NOT get during the day. Your body will process the food more efficiently; and you will not eat anywhere near as much because you are not as hungry. 



Try the two of these tips out. They're simple to apply in your regular day and they will help you see benefits very quickly, which will give you even motivation to lose weight fast.
